No Figureheads Wanted.

Mr.. Elitor II am glad to see by your
paper the interest taken concerning cur
next Governor. 1t is a healthy sign and
reminds me of the good old times when the
people, not the politicians, made the candi-
dates. / am Roberts man and nearly all
have conversed with in my section seem
TO be the same way Of thinking. But whilst
Mr.. Roberts is my choice, will be satisfied
with any good, straightforward Democrat
the party may select. ] want TO see q man
nominated who will do his duty and restore
harmony and confidence within the party.
l do not want TO see any mere figurehead
put in nomination before cur primary when
it is known that the only object In view is to
obtain delegation to the State Convention
that can be controlled by few men. No
indeed this will not do. Let the issue come
straight and square between those who really
desire the high honor and who are in every
sense Of the word worthy of the support of
the party and there will be no hard feeling
or bad talk-everything will go smoothly
and every enc will be satisfied with the re-
suit.
| was told on Saturday last by respon-
sible gentlemen, and one who is generally
well posted on State politics, that probably
Mr.. Leo Knott, First Assistant Postmaster
General, would be put in nomination at our
primary for Governor. New from what
can learn don't believe Mr.. Knott has the
slightest chance of getting the nomination,
and doubt If he desires it, and II he does
desire it it would be the same-if done at
ALL lam Of the opinion that it is TO obtain the
strength OF the county in the State Conven-
ton in the interest of some one who can't win
before our people-this and nothing more
or less.
will conclude this letter by simply say
ing that my preference fer Mr.. Roberts arises
from my knowledge of his public record. l
believe he will make good and conscien-
tieus Governor, and believe the Democracy
of Montgomery earnestly desire his nomi-
nation. DEMOCRAT.

munity in which / live as regards any
choice for this high Office, but do think It
is their earnest wish to get man who will
execute the trust faithfully and honestly,
free from the dictatisn Of any man or any
ring, and knowing such, hasten TO recon-
mend to them and my w-Democrats of
Montgomery county Attorney General Rob-
erts. II you feel any interest in the future
Of your State and the healthy growth OF the
party, take him, and my word for it you
will be proud of him.

We feel satisfied there is no intention up
on the part Of the laboring men to return
the Republican party, with all Of its mis-
conduct in the past as guarantee for the
future, to power again. But there is danger
that third party movement might accom-
pllsh this very thing. The laboring men Of
this country have their own interests, as
well as the interests of all, at heart, and we
know that they will see clearly the futility
Of third party.

BROUGHT TO GREE.

Slowly but gradually and surely the bal
lot box suffers at the last municipal cleo
ton Of Baltimore are being brought to grief
In the Criminal Court on Monday, Judge
Duffy sentenced Charles M. Owens, Isaiah
Waters, John Brandau, John b. Sanner and
William J. Byrne, judges and clerks of cleo
ton in the First Ward, to two years in Jail
james II. Hamlin, judge of election in the
Eighteenth Ward, was sentenced to two
years in Jail and to pay fine of 81 ,000.-
Henry Volunteering forfeited his bail and
did not appear for sentence All of them
were convicted for fraud at the last NUM-
cipal election, and the Reform League fur
nished the testimony upon which the ras-
Gals were convicted.
This is very healthy chapter in the pro-
ccedings of the Criminal Court Of our grow
ing commercial city, and Judge Duffy's &C
ton will rebound to his credit and meet the
warm and hearty approval Of every man
who desires to see the law obeyed and vim
dicated. 1t is blow in the right direction
and at the right time. Professional ballot
bex suffers, who are nothing more or less
than the mere toels of dishonest and cor
rupt politicians, will now realize that any
attempt to interfere with the sanctity of the
elective franchise will in the future be GER
tainly and severely punished.
We are gratified at the final action of the
in IF ;ta int
ton of the law, for it must and will tend in
the direction OF fairer and purer elections
The professional ballot box suffers and the
power behind them will now realize that
their occupation is dangerous one-"that
the eye of the law is upon them, that thu
prison door is yawning in front of them,
and that the whip of justice is at last raised
and ready to be laid upon the back of pc.
litcal offenders"
1t is already whispered that the friends OF
the convicted censpirators will appeal to
Gov. Lloyd. We are not surprised at this
action, but we would be more than surprised
should we hear that Gov. Lloyd gave it the
slightest consideration These men have
outraged public sentiment, repudiated and
trampled upon the dearest and most sacred
rights Of an American citizen, and their
punishment should be living reminder
and example TO those who have no regard
for the law. Let them have the full meas
ure OF the sentence and we shall have purel
elections, and consequently have ADLER and
and better men for offices Of public trust.
